"Who framed Roger Rabbit?"
It just looks ridiculous today. And I would have to assume "Cool World" would also suffer if I ever watched it again. No one should of course.
WHAAAAAAAAAT?
...okay, i'll back up a bit, there are admittedly some scenes where the interaction with nothing is obvious, and every "Stunt" that Eddie does looks a bit ridiculous, and i'm always a bit nitpicky about the way they sometimes in minor scenes trade cartoon props for real life props due to budget or something (especially the talking gun).
But other than that, i'm still amazed of how impressively they integrated the cartoons within the live-action footage. There is a attention to detail as well as a level of interaction that you don't really see in many movies that combine "special effects" with live-action, especially in the time it was made, but even today (although of course there are a bunch of movies that surpass this one in that regard).

90s action movies: Fight choreography has advanced so much. I men remember when the fight sequences in The Matrix or Ong-bak used to be awesome and as such, we forgave other weaker areas of a film? After watching The Raid: Redemption, or even the impressive fight sequences in children's cartoons such as The Legend of Korra, what wowed me before only induces a resounding meh in me now.
I don't know really.
I zapped into Rush Hour 3 the other day and was shocked about how slowed down the fights feel when compared to stuff like...i dunno..."Rumble in the Bronx" (to be fair, Jackie Chan is quite a bit older now, but at the same time i remember how in many western movies, for example Rush Hour 1, Chan was told that he needs to slow down so people could follow his movements and stuff, and in the scene i've seen it indeed really did look like he was holding back).
Also, there is this whole close-up shaky cam thing that was "in" in the last few years, which ruined readable and graceful fight choreographies for INTENSITY (or for not having to have choreographies since no one really sees what is happening anyway).
